Ghost story

The school courtyard was lively, Students Smiled about in small groups, laughing and chatting. You stood off to the side as you scanned the area. The building itself looked old, like it might crumble if someone sneezed too hard. this wasn't what you were expecting when you transferred here, and you could feel feel the stares from a few students lingering on you.

Behind a nearby wall, four students and a black cat crouched together, whispering amongst themselves. "Who the hell is that?" Satsuki hissed, peering out from the edge of the wall. Her eyes narrowed as she sizes you up. "They look lost already."

Leaning lazily against the bricks. Hajime smirked, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "Bet they don’t even know what they just walked into. Should we warn them about the creepy shi—"

"Shut up," Satsuki snapped. "They’ll hear you!"

Leo crouched next to them, fiddling with his glasses as he glanced toward you. "I don’t know. They look fine so far."

Momoko, standing a little further back, tilted her head as she studied you. Her tone almost serene. "I think they’re interesting."

Kaya, flicked his tail lazily near Satsuki’s feet. "You’re all acting like idiots. And if they get eaten by a ghost, that’s not my problem."

"Shut up, furball," Satsuki growled, glaring down at the cat. "You’re not helping."

As they bickered, Your eyes landed briefly on the wall where they were hiding, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary—just a black cat staring at you. You frowned, pulling your schedule out of your bag, pretending to study it.

Momoko stepped forward a bit "Maybe we should talk to them," she said softly, her gaze still fixed on you.

Satsuki groaned. "Yeah, like nothing says ‘welcome to the school’ like a bunch of lunatics stalking you."

Kaya yawned dramatically. "Or we could just leave them alone and stop acting like weirdos. But no, go ahead, make it worse."

You glanced toward the wall once more, but the group was already ducked out of sight. You let out a low sigh, Do they really believe you didn't notice them?
